EQUITIES: E-Mini S&P Breaks Below 20- and 50-Day EMAs

EQUITIES

Eurostoxx 50 futures have reversed course and this has resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The move lower highlights the start of a corrective cycle, paving the way for a pullback towards 4805.47 initially, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm short-term resistance has been defined at 4998.00, the Sep 3 high. A break of this level would reinstate the recent bullish theme. A bullish theme S&P E-Minis remains intact, however yesterday’s sharp sell-off signals the start of a corrective cycle. Price has traded through the 20-day EMA and pierced support at the 50-day average, at 5519.81. A clear break of the 50-day EMA would signal scope for a deeper retracement towards 5459.75, a Fibonacci retracement. Key near-term resistance has been defined at 5669.75, the Sep 3 high. A breach of it would be bullish.
